I just took over a very nice Sagaris from England to Germany. And, sorry, I must say that it will not come back for a longer time I think. But maybe for a short step, of course. The plasticman made it very nice just as I wanted it with open vents and a one peace bonnet which opens to the front. Just a perfect work! Thanks!
Hello to the people I met at the plasticman´s workshop and who gave best wishes for the trip home: Everything went fine at last. Only a nerve damage because I did not drive to Dover as I got told – I took a step to London because the Sat Nav was in a wrong tune. My fault so. It cost an hour to the trip and almost two years of my life... never drove in England before, never sat in a right handed car before.
What a stunning car! So happy I am with it!

so called

Hi Owe,
Congratulations.
We need photo of your new toy.
Where in Germany are you ? I normally bring my Tuscan over during the summer months.
Be careful on the damp roads.
Cheers,
Tony

Nice to know you got home safely and that you enjoyed driving the car. I was one of the people you met at Daves.

Thank you everyone! Pictures from details will follow. I got one pic from David below, just from the side of the car, so the detail are only a little to see in the front. Here in Kiel very bad weather this day. But as soon as possible I will do so!
I am located in Kiel, so very in the north.
Robert, well will see us again next year I do hope indeed!

Just saw the weather report and it seems to be an awful long time with a lot of rain. So I took the cam and took some shots under the car port. You can see the details, the very nice work made by the plasticman. Sadly the colour, due to the missing sun, is not as in reality. Maybe the photo of the bonnet from over the roof comes close by.

Owe, glad you made it home .... Eventually!
I was with Ian at Dave's (Plasticman) on the Friday. Car looks great. Great choice of colour!
I know you were nervous to post but please keep us informed.
Once you've mastered the car you can take the bandage off wink
Be good to see you at Burghley next year.

The first thing I did on the ferry... pulling off the bandage from my hand! But it really helped to keep me on the right side of the road! Burghley would be fine of course; I will see!

That roof is going to be draughty isn't it? Well in the winter it will!
Could be handy in the summer

Sad to say you can not use it for hair dressing wink
Indeed you are right, the vent takes air and it comes into the cabin exact above the drivers head. But it is very little, not as hard as it looks. You feel it if you press your hand against the bungle. Till now I have not felt it on the head, not even a little. Water from rain does not come in at all. I know for sure, I had enough during the last miles of driving home.
